This is the proprietary binary video driver from NVidia for the X.Org X-server. This package does not include the kernel module - it is a part of the nvidia-legacy390-kernel package at SlackBuilds.org. Installing the 32-bit compatibility libraries is available: if desired, do: COMPAT32="yes" ./nvidia-legacy390-driver.SlackBuild If you plan to test this buildscript on current (15.0 EXPERIMENTAL), to avoid stomping on xorg-serverand libglvnd, do: CURRENT="yes" ./nvidia-driver.SlackBuild If you build and install this driver on current WITHOUT using the CURRENT="yes" flag, it will corrupt both xorg-server AND libglvnd, so after removing the driver both packages will have to be reinstalled. This script now gives the option of installing the nvidia-persistenced daemon. For details see README.nvidia-persistenced. Several useful utilities are included: nvidia-xsettings, nvidia-smi, and nvidia-settings. Please refer to the Nvidia documentation and man pages for details and usage. For CUDA/OpenCL to work after reboot, and for utilites such as nvidia-smi, you might need to include the following line in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local: (this is REQUIRED for nvidia-persistenced to work properly) # Create missing nvidia device nodes after reboot /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u Included is a script called nvidia-switch, which is used to switch between the xorg and nvidia drivers, but it will not edit xorg.conf for you; you have to do that manually. The nvidia-switch script is installed to /usr/sbin. Usage of nvidia-switch: nvidia-switch --install <--> save the stock xorg files and install the nvidia files and symlinks. nvidia-switch --remove <--> remove the nvidia files and symlinks and restore the stock xorg files. NOTES: Since nvidia-legacy390-driver conflicts with some files of xorg, it's a bit complex to install/uninstall the driver. However, installation of the nvidia-legacy390-driver package backs up the conflicting files and puts the nvidia-specific files into place by automatically running nvidia-switch --install in doinst.sh. Before uninstalling or upgrading this package, it is IMPORTANT that you execute 'nvidia-switch --remove', which will switch back to the stock xorg files and remove all links created by nvidia-switch during installation. If you forget to do this, you might have to do the switch manually, since 'nvidia-switch --install' may fail, resulting in xorg not working. Here are the affected files (and their packages): /usr/lib[64]/libGL.so.1.2 (mesa) /usr/lib[64]/libGL.la (mesa) /usr/lib[64]/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.0.0 (mesa) /usr/lib[64]/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 (mesa) /usr/lib[64]/libEGL.so.1.0.0 (mesa) /usr/lib[64]/xorg/modules/libwfb.so (xorg-server) /usr/lib[64]/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (xorg-server) Simply remove the dead nvidia symlinks and and reinstall the mesa and xorg-server packages. (In current, if libglx.so is a dead symlink, it MUST be removed before reinstalling xorg-server.)
